The answer depends on the requirements of your state and, sometimes, your employer.
Not every state mandates commercial driver education training requirements, but those that do usually follow Federal Highway Administration guidelines and will provide you with a list of state-approved schools; just contact your local DMV or other state driver licensing agency.
States that don’t regulate training generally don’t place their seals of approval on any specific commercial driving schools, either. If you live in such a state, it’s up to you to make sure you get the education and training you’ll need to pass your knowledge and driving exams. Be sure to study your state’s CDL handbook as well as search local listings and talk with other CDL holders about local commercial drivers ed schools. You might even find you can take commercial driver ed online.
A Word About Employers
Keep in mind that, whether or not your state regulates commercial drivers education programs, the company that employs you might have its own set of training requirements. If possible, you might want to talk with the company you’re considering before you apply for your commercial drivers license; you might find that it will provide you with all the training you need.
